Lela Ruth Burke, Petitioner v. Robert W. Satterfield, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that a probate court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate objections to a final accounting filed under Section 151, but does have jurisdiction to consider exceptions to an accounting demanded under Section 149A. It also held that the probate court cannot enforce a prior district‑court judgment or decide disputes over the executor’s commission. The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals was affirmed in part and remanded for further proceedings under Section 149A.
